Pennsylvania, USA ---Community Life Coaches, Chris and Carol Green announced to their ministry family and followers that they are currently writing a new book that captures the essence of their ground-breaking approach to life coaching, mentorship, community outreach and human services. The book will be titled, Who CAREs?:A Case for Compassionate Accountability with Respect and Empathy.

“Our life coach certification and training continues to grow,” explains Coach Carol Green. “With that growth has come a request and a hunger, if you will, to know more about the concept of CARE and CARE-Readiness.”

Since 2018, this couple has trained and certified nearly 80 Life Coaches in CARE-Readiness, and another 50+ community outreach volunteers as CARE-Ready Responders.

In their various training sessions, the Greens have presented the CARE initiative this way:

What is CARE-Readiness?

It is a more responsive approach to the world of mentoring and coaching people. The CARE-Ready individual is an accountability partner who is equipped with the right tools to ask the right questions, in guiding someone to life's answers. They are trained to recognize and respond when someone is searching for direction, and they are capable of providing Compassionate Accountability with Respect and Empathy.

CARE-Readiness is Inspirational, Intuitive and Instructional. However, it is much more about being an intentional listener who earns the trust and privilege to make an impartation in someone's life.

CARE-Readiness Coaching is NOT COUNSELING OR THERAPY. We never use these terms to describe the work or practices of CARE-Ready Coaching. Unlike counseling and therapy, which involve looking back and working through one's past, CARE-Readiness is about looking ahead and navigating through the present, to reach a future with purpose.

“Post covid-19, the world is going to be very different,” adds Coach Chris Green, “We believe there will be a dire need for CARE-Readiness in the aftermath. We’re not trying to replace counseling or therapy because that will always be extremely important. But for the ‘average citizen’, parents, educators, case-workers, ministers, or just people who want to know how to best respond to those who are lost and hurting, this book will be a timely resource.”

Enola, PA ---- Chris and Carol Green announced the relaunch of their Fruitful Life E-Learning initiative WISDOM TO LEAD, in an effort to provide a practical way for their ministry followers to take advantage of the opportunity to dive into the Bible and build their spiritual muscles.

"Our message to our online learners was this, explains Chris Green, "You promised yourself, 'If I ever have the time, I'll take an online class or course in Leadership, Biblical Foundations, Improving my Marriage/ Family, or Prayer.' So we have extended an invitation for them to begin fulfilling that personal goal during this time."

"Not only will students gain some critical understanding in biblical foundations," adds Carol Green, "But they will also find these lessons very timely and encouraging during this very serious moment in history."

The Fruitful Life Learning Community continues to move forward in its mission to help Believers learn how to genuinely connect with, and successfully disciple family and friends who don't share their social, political, spiritual or cultural views and beliefs.

Chris Green shares, "It takes more than good intentions, enthusiasm, and sincerity to maturely and effectively reveal Christ in our households, neighborhoods and culture. We must follow the biblical directives that tell us to:

Take My yoke upon you and LEARN FROM ME... Matthew 11:29a (AMP)

Study and do your best to present yourself to God approved, a workman who has no reason to be ashamed, accurately handling and skillfully teaching the word of truth. ---2 Timothy 2:15

Always be ready to give a [logical] defense to anyone who asks you to account for the hope and confident assurance [elicited by faith] that is within you, yet [do it] with gentleness and respect. ---1 Peter 3:15"

The Fruitful Life Learning Community is a unique merging of a Life-Development Ministry with an alliance of Families, Home Groups, House Churches and Ministries. They convene in strategically orchestrated weekly and monthly online sessions that resource, equip and empower people from all spheres and aspects of life; giving them access to healing within their own hearts and homes, and then the ability to extend their extraordinary transformation to their friends, neighborhoods, colleagues, and anyone in their world.

As a neighborhood-supporting faith family, Fruitful Life is patterned after the 1st-century Followers of Christ, who continued steadfast in the Apostle's teaching and fellowship, in Breaking of Bread, and in Prayers. They met privately in their homes and corporately as a community on a regular basis; and they took care of widows, orphans and the poor, while experiencing miraculous signs and wonders. In its DNA, Fruitful Life carries the Ephesians 4 directive of equipping and empowering Believers to do the work of ministry.

Before there was a religion called Christianity, there was a movement known as THE WAY. Chris and Carol Green launched the Fruitful Life Learning Community as an intentional effort to help people of faith and Christian leaders return to that simple mission and lifestyle that demonstrates God's love and healing to hearts and homes.
